Historical rule simulator

Backtest: After a 20% Seven-Day Drop

Simulates one mechanical rule โ€” buy after a 20% seven-day drop, hold a fixed number of days, then exit โ€” using only this site's own historical occurrence data. Only one position is held at a time; signals that fire while already in a trade are skipped and shown below.

Rule results for Avalanche

6 historical signal(s) detected for Avalanche; 4 non-overlapping trade(s) taken at a 7-day hold (2 skipped because a position was already open).

How this backtest works

Every trade uses the same independent-episode detection and forward-return data as the full study page. A trade is entered on the day a signal triggers and exited exactly 7 days later at the historical close; a new signal is ignored while a trade is still open, so the trade count below is always less than or equal to the number of raw signals. Returns compound sequentially starting from a hypothetical $100.
